KYC documents are the three items an online casino asks for to confirm your identity: a government-issued photo ID, a proof of address dated within the last 3 months, and proof of the payment method you use. KYC stands for “know your customer”, and the check confirms that the person withdrawing money is the person who opened the account. The photo ID proves who you are. The address document has to match the address on your account. The payment proof shows the card or e-wallet belongs to you, with sensitive details hidden. This guide covers each document, how to upload them and what to do if one is rejected.
What Is KYC Verification at an Online Casino?
KYC verification is the identity check a casino runs on your account before certain actions, most often a withdrawal. Under LEON Casino’s KYC Process, the check exists for three reasons: fraud prevention, preventing underage gambling and anti-money laundering compliance.
At LEON Casino, verification can be requested at three points: at registration for some players, before a withdrawal, or when the support team flags unusual activity on an account. Having your KYC documents ready means the check doesn’t hold anything up.
What KYC Documents Do You Need?
LEON Casino asks for three KYC documents, one for each part of the check:
| Document | What’s accepted | What it has to show |
|---|---|---|
| Proof of identity | Passport, driver’s licence or national ID card | Government-issued, with your photo and a name that matches your account |
| Proof of address | Utility bill, bank statement or government letter | Issued within the last 3 months, with the address registered on your account |
| Proof of payment | Screenshot or photo of your card or e-wallet | That the payment method is yours, with sensitive details hidden |
Each one is covered in more detail below.
What Counts as Proof of Identity?
Any government-issued photo ID works: a passport, a driver’s licence or a national ID card. The name on the document is checked against the name on your LEON Casino account, so make sure the two match exactly before you upload.
If you signed up with a shortened name or a nickname, contact support before you submit your KYC documents rather than after a rejection.
What Counts as Proof of Address?
A utility bill, a bank statement or a government letter is accepted, as long as it was issued within the last 3 months and shows the address registered on your account.
An older document won’t meet the 3-month rule, even if the address on it is still correct. If you’ve moved recently, update the address on your account so it matches the document you plan to upload.
How Do You Show Proof of Payment Without Sharing Your Card Number?
Upload a screenshot or photo of the card or e-wallet you use to deposit, with sensitive details hidden. Cover the full card number and the CVV code before you take the photo.
This document only has to show that the payment method belongs to you. It doesn’t need to show every detail on the card.
How Do You Upload Your KYC Documents?
You can complete the whole check online from home. At LEON Casino:
- Log in to your account.
- Go to Account Verification.
- Upload your three KYC documents.
- Wait for the confirmation.
Verification is typically completed in 1 to 30 minutes, and it can take longer during peak periods. If you are still waiting after 48 hours, contact support directly.

What Happens If Your KYC Documents Are Rejected?
You’ll receive an email explaining the issue, with the option to resubmit. If the problem continues after you resubmit, contact support.
Before you upload again, check each document against the requirements above:
- Name: the name on your photo ID matches your account exactly.
- Date: your proof of address was issued within the last 3 months.
- Address: the address on the document matches the one on your account.
- Payment proof: the card or e-wallet is yours, and the full card number and CVV are hidden.
What Happens If You Don’t Complete KYC?
You can deposit and play at LEON Casino before your KYC documents are verified, but withdrawals and some promotions require verification first. That makes it worth completing early, especially if you plan to claim a bonus.
